A week ago I picked up my 7yo son from school. As I approach the intersection the light changed. So I came to a stop with my left turn indicator on. The light changed and I was waiting for oncoming traffic to go by. Suddenly I heard a Boom. The next thing I hear is my son asking "what happened?". It took a few seconds before I realized we had been rear-ended. I got two estimates today, both over $5000.

Looks like it was a nice car. (i love white) are you looking to sell it or attempt to fix it?

I'm not gonna spend 5K to fix it. I'm waiting to hear what the insurance co. is offering. So far, they're saying it's only worth about $3k.

Damn, that's lousy... Glad you two are ok. Cars can be replaced, not people...

It is obviously going to be totaled out, a shame, you car looked very nice and clean.

Do not take the Ins. Co. first offer. They will low ball you. Always make them find a solid comp basis for an Excellent Condition replacement to base what they eventually pay you.

Good Luck!

Hurts to see the pictures. I'll take the shift boot and knob. Be careful on insurance claims. They can be sticky.

Thanks for the well wishes. My son isn't complaining of any pain, thank god. I'm not so lucky though. I did go to the doctor to get checked out because I'm having Neck and Back pains. Xrays show no skeletal damage, but my upper back has some swelling

Whip lash is no joke! You need to go see a competent Massage Therapist ASAP! There insurance will most likely cover it. If it was the front that was smashed I might be interested in the car.

Good luck with everything!
